DELL PowerEdge R540 12-bay 2U rack server 2x Xeon 6130 128GB 12x 4TB H730P

Versatile 2U rack server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for growing business environments. It runs two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor has 16 cores, and the system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory. This configuration targets virtualization, database management and software-defined storage workloads.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives on a PERC H730P

Storage is provided by twelve Dell Enterprise 4 TB hard drives spinning at 7.2K RPM over a 6 Gb/s SATA interface. The PERC H730P controller adds 2 GB cache with battery backup and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller bandwidth and the 3.5-inch drive form factor set the practical limits for capacity and throughput in this chassis.

Check rack depth, power feeds

The unit ships with two 750 W platinum power supplies and dual 1 GbE network ports. iDRAC 9 Express handles remote monitoring and administration. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so verify rack mounting hardware and depth clearance before ordering. Confirm that your facility can supply redundant power circuits and that the integrated gigabit interfaces meet your network topology requirements.
